- Staff · August 5, 2024The Manual for Uniformed Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) contains the national standards governing all traffic control devices. All public agencies with roads open to public travel across the nation rely on the MUTCD to bring uniformity to the roadway. A “slow down” sign is not in the MUTCD therefore this sign will not be installed. Although DMV may have similar type signs so you may want to contact them. (FYI - The speed limit was reduced on Brookland Parkway via City Council Ordinance No. 2023-356.)
